MOBILIZE SKILLS
Court House Auditorium
Filled To Hear Plans For
Feb. 16 Census Taking.
Jackson county women's re
sponse to mobilization was
spontaneous yesterday afternoon
as representatives from organi
zations throughout the county
filled the courthouse auditorium
to hear Mrs. Ronald Prentis,
chairman of the Multnomah
county - board of mobilization.
Due to illness Mrs. Saidie Orr
Dunbar was unable to appear
in Medford and her speaking
tour is being filled by Mrs.
Prentis.
The speaker pointed out that
"mobilization of women is be
ing tried in America first in
Oregon at the request of the
governor, In order that he may
learn the number of women
available to fill occupations now
being held by men. This mobiliz
ation is to be accomplished Feb.
16 in a house-to-house canvass
of the state at which time wom
en will fill out printed blanks
listing their possible talents,
convertible skills- and skills
through training.
Full Listing Aim
Purpose of the registration is
to have on hand a complete list
ing of Oregon women's abilities
in order that a quick and organized-change
of employment
may be made as available men
are called to the front, or scenes
of military crises. As explained
by Governor Sprague, this Is an
emergency call of women 18
years and over and gives each
woman an opportunity to aid
In national defense at a prevail
ing wage if an emergency arises
in this state to the point of call
ing women.
Mrs. Prentis explained that
women in England were not
given an opportunity to list
their skills but were called into
varied industries, fields, and
activities without warning, hav
ing to leave behind them their
homes and families in an effort
to keep British war industries
going for the fight for freedom.
Here women will be called
where they are best fitted and
needed.
It is hoped that through this
survey convertible skills of Ore
gon women will be discovered,
such as ability to work in air
plane factories through sewing
skills, or handling of power
driven machines because of her
sewing machine ability and
many others.
Harvest Need Been
Particularly Important was
the approaching harvest labor
shortage which will exist
throughout the state this year.
With a 20 per cent increase in
production and men being called
to the army, navy and factories
the problem of food harvest
will fall upon the woman. The
federal government has said,
Mrs. Prentis pointed out, either
women must aid In the harvest
or be drafted to it. The employ
ment service is considering such
a plan of recruiting women who
will contact other available har
vest help through formation of
organized units to take care of J
me crops in oracr that no food
will be wasted this year.
It was explained by Mrs.
Prentis that registration on the
mobilization blanks does not
mean that women will receive
immediate employment Rather
it means that women will be
classified where their skills will
be most useful. In no instance
will they be employed at a low
er wage than a man in a similar
position.
Honor Stressed
The visitor pointed out that
the women of Oregon should
consider it an honor and priv
ilege to be residing In the state
to undertake such a project first.
If proven successful it is expect
ed that the survey will become
nation-wide in scope.
Preceding the county-wide
meeting Mrs. Leonard ' Carpen
ter, Jackson county chairman of
the Board for Mobilization of
Women with Mrs. Prentis met
divisional chairmen to complete
preliminary arrangements.
